Terrain slider has very little effect on FPS.
From M8 looking at mountains. 0% (far left) 86 fps, 25% 82 fps, center 82 fps, 75% 81 fps, far right 80

From tower 84-81 fps moving from L to R.

Mountains change shape and height significantly with slider position.

There are no reload sounds for shore bats or 8" guns on cruisers.

I'll try trees another time

Other sound abnormalities, flap and wheel sounds are truncated.  Also, M3 engine sound was intermittent.

X52 controls lock up in close combat situation.  No warning text, or neither was I moving the controls at any  unusual manner.  Had a report from another player with X52 fighting with me with the exact same experience at that time.......  HELP!  I love my X52   

This was not a single occurance.  It had been happening all afternoon.  What files if any can I post to help diagnose the problem?

dxdiag.txt attached

Action: Changed the InitializeCriticalSectionEx to be compatible with WinXp

Confirmed fixed, thank you!  (There are some oddities:  sometimes exiting an arena to clipboard my desktop is blank (black), sometimes it's OK; once the CBM stayed on screen above my desktop and outside the AH window (i.e. two clipboards) and did not disappear until completely exiting AH.  Also, starting up takes longer to reach the clipboard (and the AH window background is blue instead of black).  None of these things are a problem.)

I sank C21 (with SB and finished with PT torps).  We (Bishops) didn't own P20 (Knight) yet when C21 respawned near P20 it was captured as Bishop.  CraterMA.

I have also had the "don't move your controls so fast" style lock up but without the message and without any control inputs from me that might have caused it. Come to think of it I can't remember the last time I had that message in AH II, is it still part of the game?

Yes it is still part of the game.
Also while testing yesterday I was having same thing for a bit, I thought it was my JS battery, went away but not directly after the battery change.

Tank Land capture the flag.

Maproom - M8 37mm rounds, shooting at the side, pass through the back half of the maproom bunker exploding on the ground past it.
